MediaWiki feature request and bug report discussion

From Eugene Neighbors

Please report bugs, issues, and feature requests for MediaWiki at MediaZilla

For emergency problems on Wikipedia & sister projects, try to contact the developers by IRC (#mediawiki on irc.freenode.net) or on the wikitech-l mailing list (please subscribe to ensure that your message gets through and you receive replies).

Please be aware that you are more likely to get a response from a developer if you use the wikitech-l mailing list or IRC (#mediawiki on irc.freenode.net).

If you find yourself dissatisfied with the level of service you are receiving from developers, please take note of the following facts:

• Developers are not paid.
• There are hundreds of unfulfilled feature requests.
• There are thousands of users and only a small number of developers.
• Developers may, at any time, be doing one or more of the following non-MediaWiki-related activities: working for money, holidaying, sleeping, eating, shaving, having a mid-life crisis, showering, watching a movie, skydiving, changing nappies, baking a cake, having their eyebrows pierced, studying, and climbing a tree.
• There is no roster for developers to be on duty to answer questions.
• No developer has entered into a contract to perform any service for you.

See MediaWiki feature request and bug report discussion/Archive for old suggestions.
